I've played it on 6 solid state drives in a raid 0 configuration and just 1 solid state drive. I couldn't tell any difference with either set up over a mechanical drive.

Recently one of my drives failed, so I rebuilt with a 1TB drive. The 6 drives I used for the raid are still good, I just wanted more space.

From my testing, the speed of the processor makes the biggest difference. I've ran the game at 4.26 ghz and it did not make much difference over 3.86. but it still pegs out at 100% on one core.

So if your building a machine just to play dominions, by far the number one consideration is processor speed (not number of cores).

Hard drive speed will make more of a difference in games where you zone into other areas and maps with lots of information have to be loaded, FPSs, RPGs etc.
